Walt Disney's Lady and the TrampBig Golden Book
#427 Page 24 Illustration (Simon and Schuster, 1955). Poor
Tramp is being taken away by the Dog Catcher as Jock and Trusty
watch helplessly on this fantastic fully-painted page with text
paste-up. It is produced in gouache on 9.75" x 13.25" illustration
board. The page appeared as page 24 (counting the fly pages) in the
Big Golden Book #427. The book's cover identifies it as one of the
"Walt Disney's Library" series, and the title page states "Pictures
by Walt Disney Studio, Adapted by Claude Coats". Claude Coates
(1913 - 1992) was a premier studio background artist, and his work
was seen in over 20 animated films. The last film he painted
backgrounds for was Lady and the Tramp. After that film's
release, he began working in Theme Parks and was a WED Imagineer
until retirement. He was inducted as a Disney Legend in 1991. There
are some staple holes in the top corners of the board from a
previous framing, otherwise in Fine condition. Comes with a copy of
the published book.
